Alright fella's, I ordered my ASR 24mm sway bar from weaksauce a few weeks back and decided to put it on tonight. I noticed while trying to line the holes up with the "D" brackets that the holes for the bolts were covered by the bracket when one bolt would go in.

To try and make better sense of it, only one bolt on each side of the D bracket would line up, and the other hole would be covered by the bracket.

This frustrates me, because i remember asking Weaksauce on the phone if the ASR sway bar would work with my Carbing rear lower tie bar, and they were firm with their assurance that it would work.

So I am asking, do I need to have the ASR subframe brace in order to run the sway bar?

So you bought the sway bar, but not the brace? How are you mounting it to the subframe.

96-00 Civic subframes are known to be somewhat weaker than 92-95 Civics and 94-01 Integras. I would highly suggest the ASR brace, which should make it a complete bolt-on affair and no worries of subframe tear-out.
